Abel made his first and
only appearance in Battle Arena Toshinden 3, as an unlockable sub-boss.
He is the only character in the series who does not wield a weapon and instead
fights using his bare fists.

He is the leader of the
Organization, a rival crime syndicate of Master's Secret Society. His followers
include a team of warriors trained mostly in the fighting styles of the fighters
who had participated in the last two Toshinden tournaments. Most of them have
their own motivations for joining the Organization. He intended to revive an
ancient god of fighting named Agon Teos, in order to rule over the world with
it. However, he required the blood of the aforementioned fighters in order to
awaken it and the body of a purehearted boy to give it a vessel.

For the vessel, Abel
chose David
and ordered an assassination on his parents. He then attempted to capture him,
but he escaped and was rescued by Shizuku
Fuji. To lure David and the fighters, Abel hosted the third Toshinden
tournament. However, during the event, he was eventually confronted by Eiji
Shinjo, who managed to kill him and destroy the Organization.

It was cool for
Takara to finally put a character in Toshinden who fights with his fists.
Abel has some cool attacks that look like they could be from Tekken or Street
Fighter (actually, he even has a shoto style Hurricane Kick). As the
sub-boss, he also has some retardedly cheap super moves... as one might expect.
His visual design is slightly awkward, but somehow seems to work with the art
style of Toshinden. Abel also had a pretty cool voice, from what I
remember.
